There is some really nice riding in Wales and it was great to get the chance to enjoy some days on the trails and in the mountains. Cheers to Gav and Andy for joining me and a big thanks to KTM UK for lending me a #KTM890AdventureR
Access for Trail riding and adventure riding in the UK is under risk from many factors. It’s bloody important to play by the rules and ride with respect. Sticking to the trails, quiet bikes, shutting the gates and all that good stuff. The TRF do a lot of good work to keep access for motorcycles. Any RU-vid ad money this video generates will go to them to say thanks.

A great tour around some of my favourite crash sites 😅

@claran9393 Год назад

Awesome riding and scenery. Great to see you riding some lanes I’m familiar with. Nice gesture to donate proceeds from the vid to the trf as well. Good effort 👍🏼

@andrewd4970 Год назад

Looks great - on the list to come to this part of the world and spend a few days playing! ....... although I have to admit, as a mere mortal there was a little sense of enjoyment seeing Chris finding the terrain tough in a few places (admittedly, his "few" would be my "lots" ...... but that's not the point!!)

Gr8 vid. Thanks for supporting the TRF 🤙🫡

@w1ndsweptltd Год назад

Hopefully you felt at home Chris, when we visited NZ it reminded me very much of mid-Wales, except that Wales has a few thousand more gates!

@ChrisBirchNZ Год назад

Yes it definitely similar at times but different enough to be interesting. It’s a beautiful part of the world. Great people too.

Awesome video! Great riding in one of my favorite country! Greetings from Germany.

That's gotta be worth a nomination for "Best Wheelie of the Year!"

Thank you for raising money for the TRF.

Hopefully this video gets shared around a bit and we get them some decent cash!

Wales never disappoints for Offroad riding, spectacular views, great trails and always some good wet weather 😁

@ChrisBirchNZ Год назад

And good bakery’s!

@shanemagee8143 Год назад

It’s great to see you tackle lanes on our doorstep. Some fantastic lanes in wales

@karlforrest4470 Год назад

As a TRF member thanks very much for your support Chris😁

Hopefully this video gets shared around a bit and we can make RU-vid cough up some real money!

So glad you enjoyed the loop mate! Hopefully see you and Andy again soon. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@ChrisBirchNZ Год назад

I hope so! If your ever in NZ…

@appymarley Год назад

Wales never fails cant beat a bit of barmuff... amazing what they can do on these big bikes I struggle up there on my two stroke

@ASECUSTOMMOTORCYCLES Год назад

Awesome riding with you matey! Top tier adventures!

@pw3591 Год назад

Strata Florida can be challenging, but is one of my faves !!

@ChrisBirchNZ Год назад

It must be a challenge when it’s raining, that’s some deep water.

@TubbyTrialTeam Год назад

Awesome and horrendous at the same time some crazy rocky climb yikes

@robloupart4653 Год назад

Take you boys over that lot sometime 👍

@adriantompson Год назад

i am glad you did not clean the section were you let air out of your back tyre. we done it in the dry and my clutch went on the rock where you got stuck on. but i did make it to the top dont no how the bike got up there. hope you are having fun in wales.

@gregarnett6994 Год назад

Btw… I really enjoy your vids..for the riding and especially your enthusiasm and attitude. Thank you!

@briancrumpacker Год назад

Wow, what a great ride!! I never knew that Wales had so much to offer!

@ogasi1798 Год назад

it is littered with trail dreams - north to south, some more brutal than this video can show

@markbanjodaniel Год назад

“Gates of Wales “ 😂 cracking welsh accent too Chris !

@ChrisBirchNZ Год назад

I’m working on it boyo

@NARKEDAT90 Год назад

hey up chris, good to see you at ABR, glad you got to come and experience the gates of wales, hope wales didnt kick you bike around to much:-) looks like you had some good weather for your trip.

@ChrisBirchNZ Год назад

The 890 took it like a champ! Thanks KTM UK for the lend

@davidjordan4638 Год назад

Even the best can find this terrain tough..I’m happy now 👊

@CurtisBrandt Год назад

Beautiful area! It's an amazing world where we get to go along for the ride with the best riders in world. So cool. Edit: "I was not emotionally prepared for this..." occurs to me, on most rides too, but not under the same conditions. 😅

@toddwmac Год назад

Wow, spectacular. I'm thinking the guy that has the rim and tire business in that area is doing just fine. :) Thanks for the great stuff as always!

@peterdabrowski9949 Год назад

I'm in North Wales...100s of miles of fantastic trails!!!

@bernardhossmoto Год назад

Very cool, great footage (the narrow gate was my fav).

@ChrisBirchNZ Год назад

An inch narrower and that would have been a problem!

@davidrodenhurst3299 Год назад

Great to see you back in the UK Chris. Seems a long time ago when you were at West Pennine Trucks in Oswestry.

@kawayifox Год назад

This looks so much fun 🤩

@oeboeloe05 Год назад

awesome riding, spectacular!

@basalt-trail-tours Год назад

Hi Chris, we met for a few minutes at the festival. I rode in Wales the following week and it's really a great place as we can see on your video ;)

@richardsimpson3792 Год назад

Come to Wales And ride difficult trails

@savagex367 Год назад

Amazing 👏 ❤

@TusharChavan-lo7dg Год назад

Off-road biking can be an exciting and adrenaline-filled activity one day i will ride bike like you ohh no i forget i do not have super bike like you just kidding, you guys rocking

@suhasgwda Год назад

Looks like a video game😮😮🔥🔥

@AliEhttisham Год назад

Excellent video as always Chris!! How much tyre pressure you maintained on those hard rocks, and did you only reduce rear?

@paol951x Год назад

Now those are proper fences! they don't build them like they used to.

@davidherringgo Год назад

Cant get enough of those epic stone wall fencing in Wales . Your dancing across those stones on your KTM 890 is cool. Check out Jonny Walker in Erzberg Rodeo full race for some stone hoppin 😮

@pe47115 11 месяцев назад

Check out Erzberg Rodeo 2008 for some Chris Birch stone hopping. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dou4O-xbT2I.htmlsi=y4jeVDvl7R7yrSnA

@wowIloveusernames Год назад

I don't get how you stay on the bike. Going over those rock trails looks so chaotic.

@stanleyknife1967 Год назад

Great video. What’s the rule of thumb for lowering tyre pressures?

@bogdandanailescu Год назад

Slippery rock gardens + bike gynecology through the gate + awesome scenery 😅 it's the first time I see someone deflating a motorcycle tyre for grip, but it makes sense in that scenario.

@ChrisBirchNZ Год назад

It makes a big difference, give it a try some time just watch your rims on the rocks.

@bogdandanailescu Год назад

@@ChrisBirchNZ thank you, I will give it a try when needed, I know from 4x4ing to mind the rims 👍

@phillipchandler8862 Год назад

Great riding skills. Just can't see much fun in those huge rock sections. Likely to do more damage to the bikes than it's worth. New 890 ADV r 14k😢 Did enjoy it though 😄

@ChrisBirchNZ Год назад

It’s what they are designed for. Obviously depends on the rider but the only damage was scratch’s on the hand guards, we can live with that.

@ericgustafsson9008 Год назад

Very nice video Chris! I love that they keep popping up! :) I know suspension is personal, but how do you set yours up when you ride like this? Just the standard/sport from the manual or something else? 🤩

@ChrisBirchNZ Год назад

This bike was a stock bike, normally I run the pro component WP suspension which is fantastic. I run the clickers pretty much stock, I slid the forks down to the first line and backed off the preload on the shock a bit. No measuring just by feel. I like a bit more weight on the back wheel and bit more stability l.

@ericgustafsson9008 Год назад

@@ChrisBirchNZ yeah, I know you run the premium stuff from your other videos, I just wondered now when you've done so much stuff on other bikes 😊 Thank you!

@ManBikeSwag Год назад

Wow! Thats some of the rockiest sh!t I've ever seen.

@ninjazxd Год назад

Must be nice. If I just went riding here is Georgia and opened up a gate and rove on some dudes property I would probably get shot at. Here we only have place like Highland park to ride at and OHV trails. Sucks.

Yep Mum and Dad, it was great to get back there.

@mauriciovega6769 Год назад

amazing and fun!, here in the US if you open someone's gate to ride, they probably shoot you.

@hans803 11 месяцев назад

Nice Video and awesome skills Chris! Why do only Ride the 890R and Not the 690R? I Ride the same Bike like you and think about the 690 because of the weight, what do you think about this Trade? Greetings from Germany!

@1980jamesm Год назад

And chance of the GPX you followed?

@SlipperySalamanders Год назад

What's the deal with all the gates? Are you getting permission to ride through other peoples properties, or is it public use trails sort of thing? It looks killer.

@ChrisBirchNZ Год назад

They are public right of ways through private property, public access ways going back hundreds of years. It’s quite incredible access.

@Rust_valley_adventures Год назад

Opening scene looks like happy Valley north wales not to far from barmouth 😊 where did you start as we ride south to North Wales regular as its in our area, you missed out the tetty trail in mid Wales, you missed out the bomb hole at strata !
